Life in transition with Ray but without Rochelle, Rebecca, and Elcie. The blog title is taken from the girls' names but "roc" and "rebel" works for me too.

How Did I Manage This?

I've been trying to post a lovely video from YouTube but either YouTube or Blogger isn't cooperating. Maybe I can get it on over the weekend. While I'm at it, thanks to Karen H. for the Community Blogger Award. My other project for the weekend is to add buttons to my sidebar. It's not that I can't do it; I can but silly blogger gets cranky.

Right now it's double spacing between paragraphs.

Aha!! It's fixed. I think. No, it isn't.

I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend. My friend Janet brought me some of these persimmons from her tree today. She tells me they're milder and sweeter than the usual persimmons and they can be peeled and eaten like an apple. I'm looking forward to trying them.

I ran into Jim's oldest child today at Barnes & Noble. Samantha turned 18 in July, is working, going to Junior College here in town, and has a Driver's License. She's as sweet and beautiful as ever. I know it was just yesterday that she was born. Where does the time go?

Not a lot going on. Ray continues to improve and the girls were doing well when I spoke to Rebecca a couple of days ago. Perhaps they'll call tonight.

Our morning temperatures are supposed to drop to right above freezing around Thanksgiving. Brrr!! At least we don't have snow. I have our summer clothes put up and our winter clothing sorted, washed, and on hangars. We'll be needing the warm sweats before long.

And I've been cooking more "comfort food" as the weather cools. Tonight was just soup, sandwich, and yogurt because I was a little late getting home but tomorrow I'll do better.

I think I've finally caught up with most of you even if I didn't comment on all. Thanks to all of you for your comments and have a good weekend.

Hi Ann,I just went outside to try & get a picture of the moon and it's very nippy. I did this test for my blog and it also came by genius. Can't imagine why it would..Glad Ray continues to improve.Take care!xoxo

My editor shows double spacing sometimes, but when I post it, it's single spaced. The other thing it does is change my font to HUGE letters, but again, once I post it, it's normal. That's more than I can say for Blooger in general.

I want to thank you for your kind support during the last week. It was treasured, believe me!

I made a large dinner a few weeks ago to celebrate the weather cooling off and being able to use the oven again without turning my whole apartment into an oven.I can't even imagine the Pea turning 18, but I am sure when I get there it will feel just like a moment. Dang kids for growing up anyway.

Good Evening Granny,Wouldn't you know it, my blog is Elementary School Level. Hmmm, makes me wonder now what kind of level my brain is. LOL. I guess cause I'm new to blogging and still have lots to learn maybe? LOL. You are most welcome for the award. You truly deserve it. I'm not posting tonight. I will either post tomorrow or Monday. I'm going to share a recipe that I made up and fixed for mine and hubby's supper. He made it home Friday evening about 5:15p.m. Well, take care my friend and have a Blessed Sunday. God Bless You and Yours.

Dear Ann ~~ Congrats on the Blog'sreading level. A genius amongst us !! Glad that Ray is doing well and that the girls, Rebecca in particular ring you often. Thanks for your comments about Steve Irwin. I can see the use of spreadsheets in business and some fields, but not for me. Take care my friend, Love, Merle.

I also have an award waiting to be added and my grand-daughter tells me she can do it from home if I give her personal details which I'm happy to do if I can remember them . I always have difficulty in getting the right user name because it seems to vary according to what I'm doing.

You haven't caught on me because I haven't written a darn thing in over three weeks. Oops. But I figured I would check on how everyone is doing before I start posting again. It's far more enjoyable to read what you have to say than think of what I'm going to say ;)
